A Rare Case of Paget Disease

Abstract

Paget's disease is a non-inflammatory, metabolic, skeletal disorder of unknown etiology, characterised by excessive abnormal bone remodelling. It can be monostotic, when only one bone is affected or polyostotic, when two or more bones are involved.

We report the case of a patient admitted to our hospital who, on physical examination, presented an exuberant right clavicular mass. Imaging studies were performed and the diagnosis of Paget's disease of the clavicle was made - an atypical and rare location of the disease.

As Paget disease might be discovered incidentally, it is crucial to be familiar with its typical radiographic appearance to avoid misinterpretation.
